ManifestInvalidPathError for repo init call

[rage311]

Seems that repo doesn't like the .. path traversal up the directory tree for <linkfile> src. Below is the full command run and full output, plus repo and system information. Please let me know if I can provide any more information.

$ repo init -u git://github.com/legatoproject/manifest -m legato/releases/19.11.0/legato.xml

Hey @rage311 , thanks for reporting this issue. We also noticed this and are trying to find a fix for it. Pretty much all our manifests are using ../ar7 for instance, so this is a significant issue.

@jb68 will provide a workaround, but basically repo v1.x is required at the moment.
